Cannabis strains are hybrids of two cannabis plant types that are usually combined to achieve a greater potent cannabis.

Cannabis strains are created using different cannabis plants, which can be broadly classified as below:

Sativa

Sativa plants have higher levels of THC and lower levels of CBD. The strains derived from these plants are known to increase focus and thinking and are known for their invigorating mental effects. The mental zing enjoyed by many with the sativa high means that it can foster new ideas and creations. Sativas are categorized as daytime strains because they are capable of providing an uplifting and energetic head high.

Indica:

Indica plants have wider leaves and they are grown much closer together as compared to a Sativa plant. These plants have a higher CBD content with physically stimulating properties. The strains derived from Indica are noted for their calming effect and ability to relieve pain, insomnia and eliminating anxiety. It has been known to produce a heavy and relaxing body high. Indica is good if you want to shut your mind, relax and pass out!

Hybrid

Hybrid plants are a mix (a hybrid) of indica and sativa and can take on characteristics from both strain families. They have the ability to balance the effects of indica and sativa to yield desirable results. Since hybrids are a mix of sativa and indica, they can provide both mind and body effects. Hybrids can be either indica or sativa-dominant, meaning they can possess more of indica characteristics or sativa characteristics, respectively.
